They instructed the dealer not to touch it upon delivery, so there were a few small issues.

Nothing crazy here either.

Overexposed the picture so you could see the inside of the wheel (prior to agitation). Didn't expect so much bleeding on a 2 day old car.

I then gave the wheel barrows some Hydro2 lovin!
 
 
On to the plastics. Getting them ready for some BlackWow Pro.

It was then washed, & time for IronX.

Car was then clayed using clay mitt. Turned out the drivers side took the most beating on transport. Drivers side was sand paper compared to passenger's.
 
All taped up!

All paint & glass was then polished with a B&S green pad & OC primer. Very few light defects were in the paint so i didn't take any pics (not because my inexperience with my dslr didn't allow for me to be able to capture them :laughing:)
 
So here are the afters!
